Pro charging 6.2s
 

We're going to procharge our 6.2's in our 292 Formula and would like to hear about the performance gains or any feedback at all from anyone who has upgraded with this kit.

I don't have any first hand experience, but read it is very important to add a good oil cooler since the stock oil pan only holds 4.5 quarts. Are you planning on installing an intercooler? What are the details of the swap and who is doing the work? Sounds like a fun project!:drink: As you can imagine, I am very interested in the results!:p

I know Whipple makes a nice kit for the 6.2's, I plan on doing a Whpple sometime down the road maybe next winters project along with a few other things. Steve

Although Whipple is one of the best Steve, I am going to go with a Pro Charger setup. You don’t have to run an oiling system off your oil pan, Pro Chargers have a seperate oil reservoir and the oil should be changed every 100 hours. Also, I’m only going to run 3 to 4 lbs of boost so I won’t have to change the stock injectors. Yes I’ll be using intercoolers 4mulafastech. It should be a very clean set up as well as allowing the motors to run cooler with considerable fuel efficiency. My plan is to us 30p props and upgrade with a Latham marine hydraulic steering system.

You will want to put some larger oil coolers on if the engine only hold 4.5 quarts . Because they do heat up the oil !!!!! If they are working. :eek:

thanks Jeff will do

Sounds like a good project...I'm also interested in your progress and results..good luck!:drink:

What pitch props are you running now? Steve

a local guy bought a T6.2 292 with Prochargers last year (my 382 also came with Prochargers). He was running 32P props in the low 80's......but kept filling the crank case with gas (I also had that problem with them on my 500's). Soon after he got his boat he called and asked me why I removed them. Soon after he removed his as well.
If you put them on it would be a good idea to open up the bottom end and make sure the parts can handle the added pressure without blowby.

t500hp - I was wondering how much boost your 500's were running at. I talked to several people in the marine business and they seem to think with low boost say around 3 to 4 lbs, would be safe low pressure for the 6.2s. however, 6.2s that you spoke about have me concerned. Thanks, your advice is very much appreciated.
